INTRODUCTION TO GMPY2
gmpy2 is a C-coded Python extension module that supports multiple-precision arithmetic.
gmpy2 is the successor to the original gmpy module. The gmpy module only supported the GMP
multiple-precision library. gmpy2 adds support for the MPFR (correctly rounded real
floating-point arithmetic) and MPC (correctly rounded complex floating-point arithmetic)
libraries. gmpy2 also updates the API and naming conventions to be more consistent and
support the additional functionality.
The following libraries are supported:
• GMP for integer and rational arithmetic
Home page: http://gmplib.org
• MPIR is based on the GMP library but adds support for Microsoft's Visual Studio
compiler. It is used to create the Windows binaries.
Home page: http://www.mpir.org
• MPFR for correctly rounded real floating-point arithmetic
Home page: http://www.mpfr.org
• MPC for correctly rounded complex floating-point arithmetic
Home page: http://mpc.multiprecision.org
• Generalized Lucas sequences and primality tests are based on the following code:
mpz_lucas: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpzlucas/
mpz_prp: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpzprp/
gmpy2 Versions
This manual documents the two major versions of gmpy2. Sections that are specific to a
particular version will be identified as such.
The 2.0 version is the stable release that only receives bug fixes and very minor updates.
Version 2.1 is currently under active development and includes several new capabilities.
Most gmpy2 2.0 code should run unchanged with gmpy2 2.1.
The most significant change in gmpy2 2.1 is support for thread-safe contexts. This change
required extensive refactoring of almost all internal functions.
Please see the History chapter for a detail list of the changes.
INSTALLATION
Installing gmpy2 on Windows
Pre-compiled versions of gmpy2 2.0.8 are available at https://pypi.org/project/gmpy2/.
A pre-compiled version of gmpy2 2.1.0a1 is available at
https://pypi.org/project/gmpy2/2.1.0a1/. Updated Windows versions should be available
again beginning with version 2.1.0b1.
Installing gmpy2 on Unix/Linux
Requirements
gmpy2 has only been tested with the most recent versions of GMP, MPFR and MPC.
Specifically, for integer and rational support, gmpy2 requires GMP 5.0.x or later. To
support multiple-precision floating point arithmetic, MPFR 3.1.x or later is required. MPC
1.0.1 or later is required for complex arithmetic.
Short Instructions
gmpy2 requires the development files for GMP, MPFR, and MPC. The actual package that
provides these files varies between Linux distributions. Installing "libmpc-dev" (or its
equivalent) is usually sufficient.
If your system has the development libraries installed, compiling should be as simple as:
cd <gmpy2 source directory>
python setup.py build_ext --force install --force
If this fails, read on.
Detailed Instructions
Note: You really shouldn't need to do this. Unless you need the capabilities provided a
newer GMP/MPFR/MPC, you should use the versions provided by your distribution.
If your Linux distribution does not support recent versions of GMP, MPFR and MPC, you will
need to compile your own versions. To avoid any possible conflict with existing libraries
on your system, it is recommended to use a directory not normally used by your
distribution.
Create the desired destination directory for GMP, MPFR, and MPC.
$ mkdir /home/<<your username>>/local
Download and un-tar the GMP source code. Change to the GMP source directory and compile
GMP.
$ cd /home/<<your username>>/local/src/gmp-6.1.2
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/<<your username>>/local
$ make
$ make check
$ make install
Download and un-tar the MPFR source code. Change to the MPFR source directory and compile
MPFR.
$ cd /home/<<your username>>/local/src/mpfr-4.0.1
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/<<your username>>/local --with-gmp=/home/<<your username>>/local
$ make
$ make check
$ make install
Download and un-tar the MPC source code. Change to the MPC source directory and compile
MPC.
$ cd /home/<<your username>>/local/src/mpc-1.1.0
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/<<your username>>/local --with-gmp=/home/<<your username>>/local --with-mpfr=/home/<<your username>>/local
$ make
$ make check
$ make install
Compile gmpy2 and specify the location of GMP, MPFR and MPC. The location of the GMP,
MPFR, and MPC libraries is embedded into the gmpy2 library so the new versions of GMP,
MPFR, and MPC do not need to be installed the system library directories. The prefix
directory is added to the beginning of the directories that are checked so it will be
found first.
$ python setup.py install --prefix=/home/case/local
If you get a "permission denied" error message, you may need to use:
$ python setup.py build --prefix=/home/case/local
$ sudo python setup.py install --prefix=/home/case/local
Options for setup.py
--force
Ignore the timestamps on all files and recompile. Normally, the results of a
previous compile are cached. To force gmpy2 to recognize external changes (updated
version of GMP, etc.), you will need to use this option.
--mpir Force the use of MPIR instead of GMP. GMP is the default library on non-Windows
operating systems.
--gmp Force the use of GMP instead of MPIR. MPIR is the default library on Windows
operating systems.
--shared=<...>
Add the specified directory prefix to the beginning of the list of directories that
are searched for GMP, MPFR, and MPC shared libraries.
--static=<...>
Create a statically linked library using libraries from the specified path, or from
the operating system's default library location if no path is specified
OVERVIEW OF GMPY2
Tutorial
The mpz type is compatible with Python's built-in int/long type but is significantly
faster for large values. The cutover point for performance varies, but can be as low as 20
to 40 digits. A variety of additional integer functions are provided.
>>> import gmpy2
>>> from gmpy2 import mpz,mpq,mpfr,mpc
>>> mpz(99) * 43
mpz(4257)
>>> pow(mpz(99), 37, 59)
mpz(18)
>>> gmpy2.isqrt(99)
mpz(9)
>>> gmpy2.isqrt_rem(99)
(mpz(9), mpz(18))
>>> gmpy2.gcd(123,27)
mpz(3)
>>> gmpy2.lcm(123,27)
mpz(1107)
The mpq type is compatible with the fractions.Fraction type included with Python.
>>> mpq(3,7)/7
mpq(3,49)
>>> mpq(45,3) * mpq(11,8)
mpq(165,8)
The most significant new features in gmpy2 are support for correctly rounded arbitrary
precision real and complex arithmetic based on the MPFR and MPC libraries. Floating point
contexts are used to control exceptional conditions. For example, division by zero can
either return an Infinity or raise an exception.

Miscellaneous gmpy2 Functions
from_binary(...)
from_binary(bytes) returns a gmpy2 object from a byte sequence created by
to_binary().
get_cache(...)
get_cache() returns the current cache size (number of objects) and the maximum size
per object (number of limbs).
gmpy2 maintains an internal list of freed mpz, xmpz, mpq, mpfr, and mpc objects for
reuse. The cache significantly improves performance but also increases the memory
footprint.
license(...)
license() returns the gmpy2 license information.
mp_limbsize(...)
mp_limbsize() returns the number of bits per limb used by the GMP or MPIR library.
mp_version(...)
mp_version() returns the version of the GMP or MPIR library.
mpc_version(...)
mpc_version() returns the version of the MPC library.
mpfr_version(...)
mpfr_version() returns the version of the MPFR library.
random_state(...)
random_state([seed]) returns a new object containing state information for the
random number generator. An optional integer argument can be specified as the seed
value. Only the Mersenne Twister random number generator is supported.
set_cache(...)
set_cache(number, size) updates the maximum number of freed objects of each type
that are cached and the maximum size (in limbs) of each object. The maximum number
of objects of each type that can be cached is 1000. The maximum size of an object
is 16384. The maximum size of an object is approximately 64K on 32-bit systems and
128K on 64-bit systems.
NOTE:
The caching options are global to gmpy2. Changes are not thread-safe. A change
in one thread will impact all threads.
to_binary(...)
to_binary(x) returns a byte sequence from a gmpy2 object. All object types are
supported.
version(...)
version() returns the version of gmpy2.
MULTIPLE-PRECISION INTEGERS
The gmpy2 mpz type supports arbitrary precision integers. It should be a drop-in
replacement for Python's long type. Depending on the platform and the specific operation,
an mpz will be faster than Python's long once the precision exceeds 20 to 50 digits. All
the special integer functions in GMP are supported.
Examples
>>> import gmpy2
>>> from gmpy2 import mpz
>>> mpz('123') + 1
mpz(124)
>>> 10 - mpz(1)
mpz(9)
>>> gmpy2.is_prime(17)
True
>>> mpz('1_2')
mpz(12)
NOTE:
The use of from gmpy2 import * is not recommended. The names in gmpy2 have been chosen
to avoid conflict with Python's builtin names but gmpy2 does use names that may
conflict with other modules or variable names.
NOTE:
gmpy2.mpz() ignores all embedded underscore characters. It does not attempt to be 100%
compatible with all Python exceptions.

MULTIPLE-PRECISION INTEGERS (ADVANCED TOPICS)
The xmpz type
gmpy2 provides access to an experimental integer type called xmpz. The xmpz type is a
mutable integer type. In-place operations (+=, //=, etc.) modify the original object and
do not create a new object. Instances of xmpz cannot be used as dictionary keys.
>>> import gmpy2
>>> from gmpy2 import xmpz
>>> a = xmpz(123)
>>> b = a
>>> a += 1
>>> a
xmpz(124)
>>> b
xmpz(124)
The ability to change an xmpz object in-place allows for efficient and rapid bit
manipulation.
Individual bits can be set or cleared:
>>> a[10]=1
>>> a
xmpz(1148)
Slice notation is supported. The bits referenced by a slice can be either 'read from' or
'written to'. To clear a slice of bits, use a source value of 0. In 2s-complement format,
0 is represented by an arbitrary number of 0-bits. To set a slice of bits, use a source
value of ~0. The tilde operator inverts, or complements the bits in an integer. (~0 is -1
so you can also use -1.) In 2s-complement format, -1 is represented by an arbitrary number
of 1-bits.
If a value for stop is specified in a slice assignment and the actual bit-length of the
xmpz is less than stop, then the destination xmpz is logically padded with 0-bits to
length stop.
>>> a=xmpz(0)
>>> a[8:16] = ~0
>>> bin(a)
'0b1111111100000000'
>>> a[4:12] = ~a[4:12]
>>> bin(a)
'0b1111000011110000'
Bits can be reversed:
>>> bin(a)
'0b10001111100'
>>> a[::] = a[::-1]
>>> bin(a)

The iter_bits() method returns a generator that returns True or False for each bit
position. The methods iter_clear(), and iter_set() return generators that return the bit
positions that are 1 or 0. The methods support arguments start and stop that define the
beginning and ending bit positions that are used. To mimic the behavior of slices. the bit
positions checked include start but the last position checked is stop - 1.

MULTIPLE-PRECISION RATIONALS
gmpy2 provides a rational type call mpq. It should be a replacement for Python's
fractions.Fraction module.
>>> import gmpy2
>>> from gmpy2 import mpq
>>> mpq(1,7)
mpq(1,7)
>>> mpq(1,7) * 11
mpq(11,7)
>>> mpq(11,7)/13
mpq(11,91)
mpq Methods
digits(...)
x.digits([base=10]) returns a Python string representing x in the given base (2 to
62, default is 10). A leading '-' is present if x < 0, but no leading '+' is
present if x >= 0.
mpq Attributes
denominator
x.denominator returns the denominator of x.
numerator
x.numerator returns the numerator of x.
mpq Functions
add(...)
add(x, y) returns x + y. The result type depends on the input types.
div(...)
div(x, y) returns x / y. The result type depends on the input types.
f2q(...)
f2q(x[, err]) returns the best mpq approximating x to within relative error err.
Default is the precision of x. If x is not an mpfr, it is converted to an mpfr.
Uses Stern-Brocot tree to find the best approximation. An mpz is returned if the
denominator is 1. If err < 0, then the relative error sought is 2.0 ** err.
mpq(...)
mpq() returns an mpq object set to 0/1.
mpq(n) returns an mpq object with a numeric value n. Decimal and Fraction values
are converted exactly.
mpq(n, m) returns an mpq object with a numeric value n / m.
mpq(s[, base=10]) returns an mpq object from a string s made up of digits in the
given base. s may be made up of two numbers in the same base separated by a '/'
character. If base == 10, then an embedded '.' indicates a number with a decimal
fractional part.
mul(...)
mul(x, y) returns x * y. The result type depends on the input types.
qdiv(...)
qdiv(x[, y=1]) returns x/y as mpz if possible, or as mpq if x is not exactly
divisible by y.
sub(...)
sub(x, y) returns x - y. The result type depends on the input types.
MULTIPLE-PRECISION REALS
The mpfr type is based on the MPFR library. The new mpfr type supports correct rounding,
selectable rounding modes, and many trigonometric, exponential, and special functions. A
context manager is used to control precision, rounding modes, and the behavior of
exceptions.
The default precision of an mpfr is 53 bits - the same precision as Python's float type.
If the precision is changed, then mpfr(float('1.2')) differs from mpfr('1.2'). To take
advantage of the higher precision provided by the mpfr type, always pass constants as
strings.
>>> import gmpy2
>>> from gmpy2 import mpfr
>>> mpfr('1.2')
mpfr('1.2')
>>> mpfr(float('1.2'))
mpfr('1.2')
>>> gmpy2.get_context().precision=100
>>> mpfr('1.2')
mpfr('1.2000000000000000000000000000006',100)
>>> mpfr(float('1.2'))
mpfr('1.1999999999999999555910790149937',100)
>>>
Contexts
A context is used to control the behavior of mpfr and mpc arithmetic. In addition to
controlling the precision, the rounding mode can be specified, minimum and maximum
exponent values can be changed, various exceptions can be raised or ignored, gradual
underflow can be enabled, and returning complex results can be enabled.
gmpy2.context() creates a new context with all options set to default.
gmpy2.set_context(ctx) will set the active context to ctx. gmpy2.get_context() will
return a reference to the active context. Note that contexts are mutable: modifying the
reference returned by get_context() will modify the active context until a new context is
enabled with set_context(). The copy() method of a context will return a copy of the
context.
The following example just modifies the precision. The remaining options will be discussed
later.
>>> gmpy2.set_context(gmpy2.context())
>>> gmpy2.get_context()
context(precision=53, real_prec=Default, imag_prec=Default,

Context Attributes
precision
This attribute controls the precision of an mpfr result. The precision is specified
in bits, not decimal digits. The maximum precision that can be specified is
platform dependent and can be retrieved with get_max_precision().
NOTE:
Specifying a value for precision that is too close to the maximum precision will cause
the MPFR library to fail.
real_prec
This attribute controls the precision of the real part of an mpc result. If the
value is Default, then the value of the precision attribute is used.
imag_prec
This attribute controls the precision of the imaginary part of an mpc result. If
the value is Default, then the value of real_prec is used.
round There are five rounding modes available to mpfr types:
RoundAwayZero
The result is rounded away from 0.0.
RoundDown
The result is rounded towards -Infinity.
RoundToNearest
Round to the nearest value; ties are rounded to an even value.
RoundToZero
The result is rounded towards 0.0.
RoundUp
The result is rounded towards +Infinity.
real_round
This attribute controls the rounding mode for the real part of an mpc result. If
the value is Default, then the value of the round attribute is used. Note:
RoundAwayZero is not a valid rounding mode for mpc.
imag_round
This attribute controls the rounding mode for the imaginary part of an mpc result.
If the value is Default, then the value of the real_round attribute is used. Note:
RoundAwayZero is not a valid rounding mode for mpc.
emax This attribute controls the maximum allowed exponent of an mpfr result. The
maximum exponent is platform dependent and can be retrieved with get_emax_max().
emin This attribute controls the minimum allowed exponent of an mpfr result. The
minimum exponent is platform dependent and can be retrieved with get_emin_min().
NOTE:
It is possible to change the values of emin/emax such that previous mpfr values are no
longer valid numbers but should either underflow to +/-0.0 or overflow to +/-Infinity.
To raise an exception if this occurs, see trap_expbound.
subnormalize
The usual IEEE-754 floating point representation supports gradual underflow when
the minimum exponent is reached. The MFPR library does not enable gradual underflow
by default but it can be enabled to precisely mimic the results of IEEE-754
floating point operations.
trap_underflow
If set to False, a result that is smaller than the smallest possible mpfr given the
current exponent range will be replaced by +/-0.0. If set to True, an
UnderflowResultError exception is raised.
underflow
This flag is not user controllable. It is automatically set if a result underflowed
to +/-0.0 and trap_underflow is False.
trap_overflow
If set to False, a result that is larger than the largest possible mpfr given the
current exponent range will be replaced by +/-Infinity. If set to True, an
OverflowResultError exception is raised.
overflow
This flag is not user controllable. It is automatically set if a result overflowed
to +/-Infinity and trap_overflow is False.
trap_inexact
This attribute controls whether or not an InexactResultError exception is raised if
an inexact result is returned. To check if the result is greater or less than the
exact result, check the rc attribute of the mpfr result.
inexact
This flag is not user controllable. It is automatically set if an inexact result is
returned.
trap_invalid
This attribute controls whether or not an InvalidOperationError exception is raised
if a numerical result is not defined. A special NaN (Not-A-Number) value will be
returned if an exception is not raised. The InvalidOperationError is a sub-class
of Python's ValueError.
For example, gmpy2.sqrt(-2) will normally return mpfr('nan'). However, if
allow_complex is set to True, then an mpc result will be returned.
invalid
This flag is not user controllable. It is automatically set if an invalid
(Not-A-Number) result is returned.
trap_erange
This attribute controls whether or not a RangeError exception is raised when
certain operations are performed on NaN and/or Infinity values. Setting
trap_erange to True can be used to raise an exception if comparisons are attempted
with a NaN.
>>> gmpy2.set_context(gmpy2.context())
>>> mpfr('nan') == mpfr('nan')
False
>>> gmpy2.get_context().trap_erange=True
>>> mpfr('nan') == mpfr('nan')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
gmpy2.RangeError: comparison with NaN
>>>
erange This flag is not user controllable. It is automatically set if an erange error
occurred.
trap_divzero
This attribute controls whether or not a DivisionByZeroError exception is raised if
division by 0 occurs. The DivisionByZeroError is a sub-class of Python's
ZeroDivisionError.
divzero
This flag is not user controllable. It is automatically set if a division by zero
occurred and NaN result was returned.
trap_expbound
This attribute controls whether or not an ExponentOutOfBoundsError exception is
raised if exponents in an operand are outside the current emin/emax limits.
allow_complex
This attribute controls whether or not an mpc result can be returned if an mpfr
result would normally not be possible.
Context Methods
clear_flags()
Clear the underflow, overflow, inexact, invalid, erange, and divzero flags.
copy() Return a copy of the context.
Contexts and the with statement
Contexts can also be used in conjunction with Python's with ... statement to temporarily
change the context settings for a block of code and then restore the original settings
when the block of code exits.
gmpy2.local_context() first save the current context and then creates a new context based
on a context passed as the first argument, or the current context if no context is passed.
The new context is modified if any optional keyword arguments are given. The original
active context is restored when the block completes.
In the following example, the current context is saved by gmpy2.local_context() and then
the block begins with a copy of the default context and the precision set to 100. When the
block is finished, the original context is restored.
>>> with gmpy2.local_context(gmpy2.context(), precision=100) as ctx:
... print(gmpy2.sqrt(2))
... ctx.precision += 100
... print(gmpy2.sqrt(2))
...
1.4142135623730950488016887242092
1.4142135623730950488016887242096980785696718753769480731766796
>>>
A context object can also be used directly to create a context manager block. However,
instead of restoring the context to the active context when the with ... statement is
executed, the restored context is the context used before any keyword argument
modifications.
The code:
:: with gmpy2.ieee(64) as ctx:
is equivalent to:
:: gmpy2.set_context(gmpy2.ieee(64)) with gmpy2.local_context() as ctx:
Contexts that implement the standard single, double, and quadruple precision floating
point types can be created using ieee().
mpfr Methods

more digits than available given x's precision are returned. 'base' must be between
2 and 62, inclusive.

exact value. If the result code is -1, then the value of the mpfr object is less
than the exact, infinite precision value.
real Returns the real component. For mpfr objects, returns a copy of the original
object.

MULTIPLE-PRECISION COMPLEX
gmpy2 adds a multiple-precision complex type called mpc that is based on the MPC library.
The context manager settings for mpfr arithmetic are applied to mpc arithmetic by default.
It is possible to specify different precision and rounding modes for both the real and
imaginary components of an mpc.
>>> import gmpy2
>>> from gmpy2 import mpc
>>> gmpy2.sqrt(mpc("1+2j"))
mpc('1.272019649514069+0.78615137775742328j')
>>> gmpy2.get_context(real_prec=100,imag_prec=200)
context(precision=53, real_prec=100, imag_prec=200,
round=RoundToNearest, real_round=Default, imag_round=Default,
emax=1073741823, emin=-1073741823,
subnormalize=False,
trap_underflow=False, underflow=False,
trap_overflow=False, overflow=False,
trap_inexact=False, inexact=True,
trap_invalid=False, invalid=False,
trap_erange=False, erange=False,
trap_divzero=False, divzero=False,
trap_expbound=False,
allow_complex=False)
>>> gmpy2.sqrt(mpc("1+2j"))
mpc('1.2720196495140689642524224617376+0.78615137775742328606955858584295892952312205783772323766490213j',(100,200))
Exceptions are normally raised in Python when the result of a real operation is not
defined over the reals; for example, sqrt(-4) will raise an exception. The default context
in gmpy2 implements the same behavior but by setting allow_complex to True, complex
results will be returned.
>>> import gmpy2
>>> from gmpy2 import mpc
>>> gmpy2.sqrt(-4)
mpfr('nan')
>>> gmpy2.get_context(allow_complex=True)
context(precision=53, real_prec=Default, imag_prec=Default,
round=RoundToNearest, real_round=Default, imag_round=Default,
emax=1073741823, emin=-1073741823,
subnormalize=False,
trap_underflow=False, underflow=False,
trap_overflow=False, overflow=False,
trap_inexact=False, inexact=False,
trap_invalid=False, invalid=True,
trap_erange=False, erange=False,
trap_divzero=False, divzero=False,

digits()
Returns a two element tuple where each element represents the real and imaginary
components as a 3-tuple containing the mantissa, the exponent, and the number of
bits of precision. The mantissa is represented as a string in the specified base
with up to 'prec' digits. If 'prec' is 0, as many digits that are available are
returned. No more digits than available given x's precision are returned. 'base'
must be between 2 and 62, inclusive.

components. The ternary value is 0 if the value of the component is exactly equal
to the exact, infinite precision value. If the result code is 1, then the value of
the component is greater than the exact value. If the result code is -1, then the
value of the component is less than the exact, infinite precision value.

CYTHON USAGE
The gmpy2 module provides a C-API that can be conveniently used from Cython. All types
and functions are declared in the header gmpy2.pxd that is installed automatically in your
Python path together with the library.
Initialization
In order to use the C-API you need to make one call to the function void
import_gmpy2(void).
Types
The types mpz, mpq, mpfr and mpc are declared as extension types in gmpy2.pxd. They
correspond respectively to the C structures MPZ_Object, MPQ_Object, MPFR_Object and
MPC_Object.
Fast type checking can be done with the following C functions
bint MPZ_Check(object)
equivalent to isinstance(obj, mpz)
bint MPQ_Check(object)
equivalent to isinstance(obj, mpq)
bint MPFR_Check(object)
equivalent to isinstance(obj, mpfr)
bint MPC_Check(object)
equivalent to isinstance(obj, mpc)
Object creation
To create a new gmpy2 types there are four basic functions
mpz GMPy_MPZ_New(void * ctx)
create a new mpz object from a given context ctx
mpq GMPy_MPQ_New(void * ctx)
create a new mpq object from a given context ctx
mpfr MPFR_New(void * ctx, mpfr_prec_t prec)
create a new mpfr object with given context ctx and precision prec
mpc MPC_New(void * ctx, mpfr_prec_t rprec, mpfr_prec_t iprec)
create a new mpc object with given context ctx, precisions rprec and iprec of
respectively real and imaginary parts
The context can be set to NULL and controls the default behavior (e.g. precision).
The gmpy2.pxd header also provides convenience macro to wrap a (copy of) a mpz_t, mpq_t,
mpfr_t or a mpc_t object into the corresponding gmpy2 type.
mpz GMPy_MPZ_From_mpz(mpz_srcptr z)
return a new mpz object with a given mpz_t value z
mpq GMPy_MPQ_From_mpq(mpq_srcptr q)
return a new mpq object from a given mpq_t value q
mpq GMPy_MPQ_From_mpz(mpz_srcptr num, mpz_srcptr den)
return a new mpq object with a given mpz_t numerator num and mpz_t denominator den
mpfr GMPy_MPFR_From_mpfr(mpfr_srcptr x)
return a new mpfr object with a given mpfr_t value x
mpc GMPy_MPC_From_mpc(mpc_srcptr c)
return a new mpc object with a given mpc_t value c
mpc GMPy_MPC_From_mpfr(mpfr_srcptr re, mpfr_srcptr im)
return a new mpc object with a given mpfr_t real part re and mpfr_t imaginary part
im
Access to the underlying C type
Each of the gmpy2 objects has a field corresponding to the underlying C type. The
following functions give access to this field
mpz_t MPZ(mpz)
mpq_t MPQ(mpq)
mpfr_t MPFR(mpfr)
mpc_t MPC(mpc)
Compilation
The header gmpy2.pxd as well as the C header gmpy2.h from which it depends are installed
in the Python path. In order to make Cython and the C compiler aware of the existence of
these files, the Python path should be part of the include directories.
Recall that import_gmpy2() needs to be called before any other function of the C-API.
Here is a minimal example of a Cython file test_gmpy2.pyx
"A minimal cython file test_gmpy2.pyx"
from gmpy2 cimport *
cdef extern from "gmp.h":
void mpz_set_si(mpz_t, long)
import_gmpy2() # needed to initialize the C-API
cdef mpz z = GMPy_MPZ_New(NULL)
mpz_set_si(MPZ(z), -7)
print(z + 3)
The corresponding setup.py is given below.
"A minimal setup.py for compiling test_gmpy2.pyx"
from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Build import cythonize
import sys
ext = Extension("test_gmpy2", ["test_gmpy2.pyx"], include_dirs=sys.path, libraries=['gmp', 'mpfr', 'mpc'])
setup(
name="cython_gmpy_test",
ext_modules=cythonize([ext], include_path=sys.path)
)
With these two files in the same repository, you should be able to compile your module
using
$ python setup.py build_ext --inplace
For more about compilation and installation of cython files and extension modules, please
refer to the official documentation of Cython and distutils.
CONVERSION METHODS AND GMPY2'S NUMBERS
Conversion methods
A python object could interact with gmpy2 if it implements one of the following methods:
• __mpz__ : return an object of <type 'mpz'>.
• __mpq__ : return an object of <type 'mpq'>.
• __mpfr__ : return an object of <type 'mpfr'>.
• __mpc__ : return an object of <type 'mpc'>.
Implementing on of these methods allow gmpy2 to convert a python object into a gmpy2 type.
Example::
>>> from gmpy2 import mpz
>>> class CustInt:
... def __init__(self, x):
... self.x = x
... def __mpz__(self):
... return mpz(self.x)
...
>>> ci = CustInt(5)
>>> z = mpz(ci); z
mpz(5)
>>> type(z)
<type 'mpz'>
Arithmetic operations
gmpy2 allow arithmetic operations between gmpy2 numbers and objects with conversion methods.
Operation with object that implements floating conversion and exact conversion methods are not supported.
That means that only the following cases are supported:
• An integer type have to implement __mpz__
• A rational type have to implement __mpq__ and can implement __mpz__
• A real type have to implement __mpfr__
• A complex type have to implement __mpc__ and can implement __mpfr__
Examples:
>>> from gmpy2 import mpz, mpq, mpfr, mpc
>>> class Q:
... def __mpz__(self): return mpz(1)
... def __mpq__(self): return mpq(3,2)
>>> q = Q()
>>> mpz(2) + q
mpq(7,2)
>>> mpq(1,2) * q
mpq(3,4)
>>> mpfr(10) * q
mpfr('15.0')

• In previous versions of gmpy2, gmpy2.mpz was a factory function that returned an mpz
instance. gmpy2.mpz is now an actual type. The same is true for the other gmpy2 types.
• If a Python object has an __mpz__ method, it will be called bye mpz() to allow an
unrecognized type to be converted to an mpz instance. The same is true for the other
gmpy2 types.
• A new C-API and Cython interface has been added.
Changes in gmpy2 2.0.4
• Fix bit_scan0() for negative values.
• Changes to setup.py to allow static linking.
• Fix performance regression with mpmath and Python 3.
Changes in gmpy2 2.0.3
• Fix lucas2() and atanh(); they were returning incorrect values.
Changes in gmpy2 2.0.2
• Rebuild Windows binary installers due to MPIR 2.6.0 bug in next_prime().
• Another fix for is_extra_strong_lucas_prp().
Changes in gmpy2 2.0.1
• Updated setup.py to work in more situations.
• Corrected exception handling in basic operations with mpfr type.
• Correct InvalidOperation exception not raised in certain circumstances.
• invert() now raises an exception if the modular inverse does not exist.
• Fixed internal exception in is_bpsw_prp() and is_strong_bpsw_prp().
• Updated is_extra_strong_lucas_prp() to latest version.
Changes in gmpy2 2.0.0
• Fix segmentation fault in _mpmath_normalize (an undocumented helper function
specifically for mpmath.)
• Improved setup.py See below for documentation on the changes.
• Fix issues when compiled without support for MPFR.
• Conversion of too large an mpz to float now raises OverflowError instead of returning
inf.
• Renamed min2()/max2() to minnum()/maxnum()
• The build and install process (i.e. setup.py) has been completely rewritten. See the
Installation section for more information.
• get_context() no longer accepts keyword arguments.
Known issues in gmpy2 2.0.0
• The test suite is still incomplete.
Changes in gmpy2 2.0.0b4
• Added __ceil__, __floor__, __trunc__, and __round__ methods to mpz and mpq types.
• Added __complex__ to mpc type.
• round(mpfr) now correctly returns an mpz type.
• If no arguments are given to mpz, mpq, mpfr, mpc, and xmpz, return 0 of the appropriate
type.
• Fix broken comparison between mpz and mpq when mpz is on the left.
• Added __sizeof__ to all types. Note: sys.getsizeof() calls __sizeof__ to get the memory
size of a gmpy2 object. The returned value reflects the size of the allocated memory
which may be larger than the actual minimum memory required by the object.
Known issues in gmpy2 2.0.0b4
• The new test suite (test/runtest.py) is incomplete and some tests fail on Python 2.x due
to formatting issues.
Changes in gmpy2 2.0.0b3
• mp_version(), mpc_version(), and mpfr_version() now return normal strings on Python 2.x
instead of Unicode strings.
• Faster conversion of the standard library Fraction type to mpq.
• Improved conversion of the Decimal type to mpfr.
• Consistently return OverflowError when converting "inf".
• Fix mpz.__format__() when the format code includes "#".
• Add is_infinite() and deprecate is_inf().
• Add is_finite() and deprecate is_number().
• Fixed the various is_XXX() tests when used with mpc.
• Added caching for mpc objects.
• Faster code path for basic operation is both operands are mpfr or mpc.
• Fix mpfr + float segmentation fault.
Changes in gmpy2 2.0.0b2
• Allow xmpz slice assignment to increase length of xmpz instance by specifying a value
for stop.
• Fixed reference counting bug in several is_xxx_prp() tests.
• Added iter_bits(), iter_clear(), iter_set() methods to xmpz.
• Added powmod() for easy access to three argument pow().
• Removed addmul() and submul() which were added in 2.0.0b1 since they are slower than
just using Python code.
• Bug fix in gcd_ext when both arguments are not mpz.
• Added ieee() to create contexts for 32, 64, or 128 bit floats.
• Bug fix in context() not setting emax/emin correctly if they had been changed earlier.
• Contexts can be directly used in with statement without requiring
set_context()/local_context() sequence.
• local_context() now accepts an optional context.
Changes in gmpy2 2.0.0b1 and earlier
• Renamed functions that manipulate individual bits to bit_XXX() to align with
bit_length().
• Added caching for mpq.
• Added rootrem(), fib2(), lucas(), lucas2().
• Support changed hash function in Python 3.2.
• Added is_even(), is_odd().
• Add caching of the calculated hash value.
• Add xmpz (mutable mpz) type.
• Fix mpq formatting issue.
• Add read/write bit access using slices to xmpz.
• Add read-only bit access using slices to mpz.
• Add pack()/unpack() methods to split/join an integer into n-bit chunks.
• Add support for MPFR (casevh)
• Removed fcoform float conversion modifier.
• Add support for MPC.
• Added context manager.
• Allow building with just GMP/MPIR if MPFR not available.
• Allow building with GMP/MPIR and MPFR if MPC not available.
• Removed most instance methods in favor of gmpy2.function. The general guideline is that
properties of an instance can be done via instance methods but functions that return a
new result are done using gmpy2.function.
• Added __ceil__, __floor__, and __trunc__ methods since they are called by math.ceil(),
math.floor(), and math.trunc().
• Removed gmpy2.pow() to avoid conflicts.
• Removed gmpy2._copy and added xmpz.copy.
• Added support for __format__.
• Added as_integer_ratio, as_mantissa_exp, as_simple_fraction.
• Updated rich_compare.
• Require MPFR 3.1.0+ to get divby0 support.
• Added fsum(), degrees(), radians().
• Updated random number generation support.
• Changed license to LGPL 3+.
• Added lucasu, lucasu_mod, lucasv, and lucasv_mod. Based on code contributed by David
Cleaver.
• Added probable-prime tests. Based on code contributed by David Cleaver.
• Added to_binary()/from_binary.
• Renamed numdigits() to num_digits().
• Added keyword precision to constants.
• Added addmul() and submul().
• Added __round__(), round2(), round_away() for mpfr.
• round() is no longer a module level function.
• Renamed module functions min()/max() to min2()/max2().
• No longer conflicts with builtin min() and max()
